Skratch LabsRecovery Sport Drink Mix (24 Servings) (Return to Product Page)

Most of us should avoid the hype of recovery foods/drinks if only doing moderate effort activities and duration up to 90 minutes. It's those harder/longer efforts where all the science behind these recovery products kicks in and they actually deliver benefits, not just calories. I've rotated through a few similar products to this over the years for post-ride recovery any time I'm out 2 hours or more, and tend to keep coming back to this brand/flavor. Tastes great and does the job--I sleep better, bounce back a bit more quickly.

I mix this in a shaker bottle for post workout recovery. It blends well without too many clumps with water. I have been fairly successful mixing it with milk sometimes too. Tastes good and I use it as a healthy chocolate drink that is also getting me some protein.

Chocolate flavor tastes great and seems to keep the aches away the day after a long ride. The non-vegan flavors have lactase, and seems lactose-free to me which is a huge convenience and digestion is easy, which is key while cooling down. I was a little skeptical of "recovery drinks" but I'm a fan of this one now.

I use this recovery drink after riding more than 3 hours or after 2 hour fast rides. Because it mixes with water fast and tastes good I liked it.
